A Hebrew-language news site is accused of exploiting antisemitic threats to drive traffic. The critique, published on the NZiv platform, says the outlet has adopted a pattern of fear-mongering to increase readership, a tactic the author argues has been understood for years but is now being taken further.
A Hebrew-language opinion piece criticizes the news site 'Maariv' (operating as a clickbait platform) for systematically using antisemitic threats to draw Israeli readers. The author, writing on the NZiv news analysis site, argues that the outlet's editorial strategy relies on 'wallpapering' antisemitic content and serving a 'masochistic' diet to those who enter the site. The critique notes that the phenomenon has been understood for about twenty years, but claims the current approach takes it further. The original article on 'Maariv' is linked, though its specific headline is not quoted in the batch. The piece reflects ongoing public debate in Israel about media ethics and the exploitation of genuine security threats for commercial gain.
